Hey guys, getting close. Obviously much longer than I had hoped but we'll get there. Here's a couple pics of the progress

That's looking decent! And actually looks like it will be wider than I was expecting.. A good thing... Can you post a stock one next to it when it's nearer completion for comparison?
I'm looking for that noticeable effect, coke bottle type... If it's subtle so you hardly notice, why bother with hassle and expense! Looking promising these

God Lord, Pete! That looks like crap!

J/K. That looks even more aggressive than the 1.25" L5's I have.

Will yall be making it in carbon fiber? I'm looking to change some parts out to carbon for weight loss

Thanks guys! Yes they will be made in carbon as well, also these are made here in the US, so the carbon will be 100% carbon not backed with fiberglass.

With the amount of time you've spent teasing us with pics of those fenders they could have been prepped, painted and installed eons ago!

EDIT: By the way, as to not to get off topic; those fenders are looking great Quik! Can't wait to test fit

On the back burner while I finish another project (C7) as well as working with Pete on some rear quarters for some of you guys. Plus, there is my actual day job and rebuilding my deck and . . . well, you get the picture.
